DCFC are OK. But really they put me the fuck to sleep. It is absolutely something that I do not get. I don't think they're incompitent in any way but they just bore me to damn tears man! True, they have awesome innovative recordings that sound genuine and original with great sound quality. But I have to say CRAP,CRAP,CRAP. And I have all of their records. Postal Service destroys DCFC. If I had feelings I'd be sorry.

Death Cab For Cutie is an okay band to me. I can listen to their records and enjoy them. I actually saw them play in Boise on Sunday night and they were really good!

They have a handful of songs that are real winners -- "For What Reason", "405", "Company Calls", "I Was A Kaleidoscope", "Styrofoam Plates" and "The Sound Of Settling". I will listen to these songs of my own volition from time to time, which I guess is a NOT CRAP vote in its purest form.

Plus, I know some people who seem to make an actual and honest connection with this band, and these people are not fools. That will always earn a checkmark in the plus column from me.

However, they have some songs that are real CRAP. There is also a sad puppy dog factor that exists with Death Cab, which is annoying. And for a pop band, they can sometimes be pretty hookless, which is death!

i went through a death cab phase about five years ago, then ignored them for a few years, and then saw them recently and it had all the bland sweetness of a California strawberry in November. For their credit the sound at the show was really bad, but Ialso found the softie aesthetic not very endearing at all.

four years ago, through "we have the facts...": not crap.
now: pretty close to crap, even without hearing the newer records. it seems their hearts are in other projects.

i never thought they were even close to being as good as Built to Spill, but i don't think they really sound like BTS anyway. There are other west coast bands that do the sweet and/or electro-tinted pop thing better, i.e. Grandaddy.
